There's a lot going on in "Cobweb". Maybe too much. The movie manages a decent atmosphere, but is too confusingly told, too muddled, and has a mishandled conclusion.
The plot: Peter is a bullied boy with weird and creepy parents. A voice behind the wall in his room starts talking to him and he ends up getting expelled for following their advice.
Peter's parents become even more weird and lock him up. People from school come to pay him a visit, some to help him, some for revenge, right when the voice behind the wall becomes more insistent.
"Cobweb" occasionally grabbed me with its atmosphere and visuals, but the story eventually lost me, and I didn't care that much about it.
